Mr.. Covers Assurance.

Mr.. Gowen has issued a circular letter to
the principal bondholders and stockhold'
ers Of Reading, urging them to enter into
the reconstruction arrangement. Mr..
Gowen displays In this communication the
strong traits Of his character which have
become so familiar. He is sanguine as ever
and as full Of confidence that he is now and
always has been right; confronted by the
undeniable fact that Reading toppled be
cause Of the great over. weight he put on
it. Mr.. Gowen fails TO let us see tha. he
sees this, but proceeds TO put the responsi.

those who succeed him in the manage.
ment. The company certainly would not
have gone into the hands of the receivers
If Mr.. Gowen had taken as good care Of 1t
as he seems 70 think he did. Yet it is the
receivers policy, and not his own, which
enjoys his criticism. They lost the
company ten or twelve millions, Mr.. Gowen
thinks. During the last three years Of his
management, he assures us, the company
earned a sum that would suffice 10 pay in.
terest upon the stock under the reconstruc.
ton plan. And yet it went to receivers.
Mr.. Gowen does not seem TO see that the
greater the resources he shows his company
to have had when he handled it the greater
the blame attachable to him for letting it
60 ashore. 1t is natural that Mr.. Gowen
should be hopeful. All men who are thor
ough believers in themselves are Of
sanguine Temperament. Men generally
need to be TO believe in themselves. The
stockholders will receive Mr.. Gowen's as
surance that they will soon have dividends
with cheerfulness; but also with compo-
sure, because they have had these assur-
ances often, but not the dividends.
We admire Mr.. Gowen's energy pluck,
honesty, resources and eloquence but we
know full well that the talents that make
a railroad pay are Of a less strong kind
and that Mr.. Gowen does not have full
equipment of them.

The Coal Pool,

Attorney General Cassidy has found out
from Mr.. Harris, secretary of the anthra-
cite coal pool, that there was an allot-
ment Of production to each company and
penalty of fifty cents ton to be paid
upon all coal marketed over the allot-
ment. The Pennsylvania railroad COM
pany, whose directors resolved, and
published their resolution, that they would
never, no, never, be guilty Of such naughti-
ness as to enter into combination for the
restriction Of the coal supply, is shown to
have been in the pool as deep as
anyone. President Roberts attended
the meetings and agreed to confne
himself to his share of the production
and the individual operators on his lines
agreed to stick to theirs. An explanation
from the Pennsylvania directors is in order.

fame in their prime during the stirring
times Of civil war have reached their term

must be often called upon TO chronicle
the ends of soldiers and war statesmen
until these relics Of the war have passed
away and the proportion in the list Of men

ors, scientists, merchants, divines, engi-
